One doesn’t need a fancy rehabilitation facility or unforgiving fast to experience the health benefits of eliminating toxins and emotional waste from the body. Mariano (Mano) Ardissone, founder of Ayama Center for Yoga & Healing Arts, will teach a tailored, detoxifying 120-minute yoga class on April 27, 2012, as part of The Standard Spa’s H2-OM yoga series. The cost is $30 and includes use of the indoor baths, sauna and steam room in the spa.

Bodies are designed to engage in elimination every day and a great way to help it along is with a detox yoga practice. Beginning at 8 p.m., Mano’s two-hour class is a mixed-level and dynamic asana practice that allows students to work at their own level while engaging the circulatory, digestive and lymph systems to promote the elimination of toxins, improve immunity, cleanse and purify.

Creative, intelligent sequencing of asanas, vinyasas, restorative twists and breathing techniques, including pranayama variations, will be taught to expand the spectrum of possibilities and take one’s practice to the next level in fluidity, proficiency and playfulness. Settle in for a sweet sweat to feel poised, powerful, lighter, brighter and more energetic.

Mano is the founder and director of Ayama Yoga & Healing Arts in North Miami Beach. With more than 15 years of experience studying, practicing and teaching yoga, he has appeared as a guest on numerous TV stations including NBC, CBS, CW, Telemundo and The Discovery Channel.
